Liberty Radio Awards

Johannesburg, Sunday, 14 April 2019 – The South African Broadcasting Corporation’s (SABC) radio stations have once again dominated the 2019 Liberty Radio Awards, securing 22 awards and having four inductees in this year’s hall of fame. These awards are an indication of the SABC’s ability to have employed the best strategies to build, attract and retain audiences, and most importantly yield a competitive edge to contest with other broadcasters in South Africa. The SABC’s recognition at the Liberty Radio Awards reaffirms SABC Radio as the leading hub of entertainment, news and information to the millions of South Africans and audiences outside South African boarders. SABC radio remains on top of its game, despite an increased number of other South African radio stations and the rapid growth in digital media consumption, in the form of videos and social media that is easily accessed via mobile devices. In addition, these awards are also an indication of the talent and skills possessed by our radio presenters and producers respectively. SABC Spokesperson, Ms Vuyo Mthembu stated, “this big win speaks directly to our commitment to consistently provide quality programming and content delivery. It serves as an affirmation that our brands are relevant and appealing to their respective audiences. Our victory is an indication that SABC is indeed home to the country’s biggest radio brands”.
